Why NAIFA?

At the state level, our state associations work hand in hand with NAIFA's national law department to positively impact state legislation and regulation.

While industry protection is critical, NAIFA's corporate partnerships programs recognize that agents and advisors need much more than just a voice in Washington and state capitols. New sales ideas, industry news and networking opportunities are crucial to agents' success. In response to these needs, our partnerships also focus on delivering value-added benefits to NAIFA's members. These robust benefits include professional development opportunities, discounts on supplies,programming for younger advisors and those new to the industry, and constant exposure to new sales and prospecting ideas.
